An EMOTIONAL JOURNEY of sorts in PONTYPOOL | Street scenes | Indoor Market | Raggamuffin's Emporium

- Опубликовано: 21 май 2022
- I'm in Pontypool today, as it so happens. I've found myself with the opportunity to have a quick look around, so this is what I do. I have a look around the streets and indoor market, a very quick peep into the park and I explain a bit about Welsh-medium education in Wales, as I pass a Cylch Meithryn and Cylch Ti a Fi venue. We end up, eventually, in Raggamuffin's Emporium Antiques which sends us on an emotional journey of sorts. We round the vlog up in the café in Raggamuffin's Emporium and enjoy a coffee and a bit of lunch.
Here's the link to my Pontypool park vlog I made ages ago: • We visited PONTYPOOL P...
Raggamuffin's Emporium can be found at 7 Commercial St, Pontypool NP4 6JJ

IB = Invisible Boyfriend. He's my boyfriend. He's real, but he's camera shy so you never see him in the vlogs though you will hear him. He is heard but not seen.

Imo is a flautist/flutist (flute player), and these vlogs will often take you behind the scenes of the life of a professional folk musician. Stand by for bits and bobs of live folk music and dance as they pop up in our day-to-day lives.
These videos will not generally feature recorded background music, making them extra suitable for people who aren't keen on pop music!
Follow this channel for daily-life vlogs (6 days a week, usually), content relating to the flute, travel (particularly to Lisbon, Portugal), folk musician lifestyle, and to see what life is like for this little family in our corner of South Wales in the UK.

Coastal redwood - the cousin of the giant redwood. Fun fact, coastal redwood is the tallest specie on the planet (the biggest one we know is 115m), giant redwood isn’t quite as tall but is a lot more girthy and therefore has a larger overall mass.
Brilliant! Thank you, George!
I wish you could've seen it in 1990 when I first moved down there. It was always busy, and packed at the weekend when we'd all end up in Digby's 🤗👍
There are some clever people out there that are good with crafts.
Loved that! Especially the antique / coffee shop!
Aww thanks Collin! X
Hi imo saw more people about in lockdown its deserted ...Nice buildings ..I like water 💧 nice also like rain 🌧 with window a crack pitta patter ....thanks for sharing ❤ 👍
I just film around the people or just their backs to respect their privacy. There were people about, although not many as it was during work/school hours. Thanks so much, Joanna. X

Ahhh nice :) Thanks for watching
Street art really brightens up empty shops x
It so does! Thanks, Donny. x
Hello Imo, catching up on your videos, been watching "the court thingy" sorry I'm late xx
So much cool stuff in the antique store! He Man! By the power of Gray skull! I could spend hours there!
You had He Man in the US?! Cool!!
Oh yes but I was little too old for He man, I was already in high school when it first came out
You missed out, there! Ha ha ha!
Oh cassette machine loved mine!!
Me too! Taping stuff off the top 40 on a Sunday evening...
@@PlanetImo Me too only to tape talking.😄
I also recorded comedies and things off Radio 4, now you come to mention it - like the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Lee said WOW to Lara
IB was a fan...
Oh yes. The single word books from ladybird. I remember learning to read with yhem.
Awwww lovely :) I'm sure I can picture a little babies' ball and an old fashioned rattle...
Love shops with old time things in them. What a lovely outing.
Oh this brought back so many memories for me (Im old 61) I had the dog on wheels- I used him to stand on so I could reach the work tops in the kitchen...I had a scooter similar to the red one and I am just old enought to remember learning 'old money' until decimalisation was announced. I was in the infant school in Yorkshire at the time and I remember the teacher flouncing into the classroom and angrily wiping all the sums of the blackboard and shouting " well, you can forget all that...we're going decimal!" and with that she stormed over to the cupboard and threw away all the old plastic coins!!
That's an interesting background on the Welsh school system. I need that to help me learn welsh.
I know of people who've helped out in the Welsh nurseries to help them learn Welsh.
It's nice to explore new towns. And find out the history if the place.
Great vid imo really interesting place donny x
We got a farm foods too in Gravesend love there spice chicken x
I rarely get a chance to go in Farm Foods, but I was quite impressed the last time I did.
Very nice immo I might have a trip to Wales.
That's a lovely old building. Looks like an old school.
I had that till!!!
Wow!!!! It's predecimalisation!!
What a great place to explore! The architecture is rather unique and beautiful. On a side note….love your green shirt 😊
Thank you! 😃 The green jumper is from Spain - I bought it from one of the little clothes shops there. I love getting to visit new places. Thanks so much! x
Love shops like that ! So cute 😍 🫖☕
Thanks 😊
i love Ponty...it's been a while mind.
It seemed really nice from what little I saw if it. Thanks so much for watching 😃
What a brilliant antique shop, I used to practice my typing at home on an old typewriter like that we had, loved it, don't know what happened to it. Great vlog to watch.x
Thanks Barbara! I have an ancient typewriter in my cellar. :)
I am one of the Americans who love to see the towns and your really old buildings! Yes, Southern Walse looks very scenic. Except for the metropolitan area of Cardiff, there are a lot of rural areas with beautiful rolling hills. And just north of you is Brecon Beacons National Park. Thanks the antique shop was interesting.
You’re welcome. 😊
The handle on a phone was to charge it and make the other phone ring like an early intacom you see them a lot in old war films and dad's army x
Oh wow!! Like a dynamo type thing and more! Thanks for the info :)
God, I haven't seen a Poundstretcher in ages - I thought they all closed down!
Still up and running in Wales, it would seem! And much loved 😆 Thanks, Kittikoko. X
I believe we stayed in Pontypool years ago. In a Premier Inn.
Ooooh!
I assume your lack of coffee would be like me running out of tea!
Pure devastation!!
Hi my name is Shane I live in Pontypool I was there in town on Saturday and that antique shop used to be a Barclays Bank it did this opened about 4 years now I think
Great vlog. It's fascinating to see the cities and the little shops. Those are my favorites. I think it is very advantageous to know both languages. It creates an environment to learn other languages, like Portuguese. My son just bought a 3-D printer. He is having the best time with it. It's connected to his computer so he can invent things. He's already sent me a flower vase and a monster pencil-pen holder.
Oh cool! I have a friend called Edward Jay who is actually designing concertinas for 3D printing. They appear to be pretty good.
ruclips.net/video/vE55WHTo-lU/видео.html here he is playing one of them. Your boy might be interested being a musician too.
@@PlanetImo Oh goodness I would love to hear one of those!
@@babykukla he’s playing it in the link I put in the comment above so you can. X
Thanks sis, show me more 🙏🙏💋💋💋💋💋
Pontypool looks just as nice as Pontypridd! How do you keep your pontys figured out? :)
Ha ha! It means ‘bridge of’ in Welsh so I guess it’s manageable somehow. We have lots of ‘Aber’s too.
Short hair is really the way to go - it's easier to maintain and dries quicker after I shower
That’s true!!
HeMan seems to have lost his neck.
😂
